Saber Interactive Teases Gore Horror Game for Next Week, Potentially Hellraiser

Saber Interactive, known for high-profile projects like the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake and Jurassic Park Survival, appears poised to unveil a mysterious new title. Recent hints suggest it could be tied to the Hellraiser franchise, sparking speculation among fans.

A cryptic teaser shared earlier this week directs audiences to a landing page showcasing retro VHS-style visuals and a countdown to July 22, 2025, at 6am PT / 9am ET / 2pm BST. The accompanying video preview, filled with eerie ambient sounds, fuels theories that Cenobites and puzzle boxes may be central to the project. Social media chatter and community analysis point to Hellraiser as the likely inspiration.

Additional footage released today features horror-focused content creators reacting to an exclusive preview. Descriptions of “graphic violence” and questions like “Does this push gaming’s boundaries?” hint at an intense experience. One influencer even wondered, “_How is this legally permissible in a game?_”—suggesting unprecedented levels of visceral content.

The timing coincides with recent developments surrounding the Hellraiser license. Pinhead’s abrupt removal from Dead by Daylight in 2024—without full transparency—raises questions about licensing shifts. Historically, the franchise has seen limited gaming representation, with a canceled 1991 NES adaptation remaining one of its few attempts. A dedicated title could finally bring Clive Barker’s nightmarish vision to interactive formats.

While speculation leans heavily toward Hellraiser, Saber’s teaser campaign leaves room for alternative interpretations. The studio’s unannounced Hasbro collaboration and other in-development titles leave possibilities open. All will be clarified when the full reveal arrives on Tuesday.
